something that drove Winky into chronic depression



what kind of horseshit is that. like did you forget the whole crouch thing or

[(Anonymous)]

Did you miss the part where Crouch freed Winky and she spent the whole year at Hogwarts sobbing and getting drunk on Butterbeer to the point of passing out? It's in Goblet of Fire.

[(Anonymous)]

that was my point? hermione had nothing to do with winky becoming a mess. might've upset her but calling her the cause for her "chronic depression" is horseshit. did you read the book?

[(Anonymous)]

The original anon didn't mean that Hermione was the cause for Winky's chronic depression, but that BEING FREED was and that was something Hermione was then trying to force on other house elves DESPITE KNOWING how it had affected Winky.

Reading comprehension. It's a thing.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the other anon, but I think the point was supposed to be that Hermione witnessed Winky being freed and becoming depressed, and should therefore know from that experience that her actions (trying to forcibly free House Elves) are a bad idea. It's not that she's responsible for Winky (she isn't) but that she should have learnt from seeing what happened to Winky what a bad idea her own actions were.

Counterpoint: Dobby enjoyed being free. She has no way of knowing which of the two reactions are liable to be the most common. The perils of low sample sizes in experiments people.

[(Anonymous)]

She could've guessed by the way EVERY one of the house-elves in Hogwarts' kitchens were horrified by her ideas and kicked the trio out of the kitchen. Dobby, otoh, was miserable while in service to the Malfoys, so of course he was thrilled to be free. But even he implied to her that he was the exception, not the rule.
